Haryana Minister Orders Derecognition of School Over Exam Denial to Girl for Unpaid Fees
Haryana Agriculture Minister Shyam Singh Rana has ordered the cancellation of recognition for a private school in Kakaut village after it barred a Class 5 girl from taking her exam due to unpaid fees. The girl's mother, a widow from Guliyana village, complained that the school also expelled her daughter and demanded Rs 30,000 before issuing her School Leaving Certificate. The student has been admitted to another school. The minister emphasized that denying education violates the 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' campaign and directed authorities to act promptly.
